FAQs

Products

where do you source your products?

Everywhere. All the vintage items are bought from a huge range and network of sources built-up over decades, from both traders, trade fairs, auctions and private sellers worldwide. The new stuff comes from an equally diverse range of sources. Our made-to-order furniture is mostly manufactured here in the UK. Many of our toys and gifts are from the EU, but a large proportion are from India and China and are, as far as possible, ethically sourced. We think we deal only with companies that have a good moral compass. Lots of people are bothered by goods originating from these two countries in particular, but like everything in the world, there are good and bad sources and practices - and while there are people in the world for whom price alone is the driving factor in their decision-making process, it will remain that way.

Is everything you sell in your shop, on your website too?

Errr, yes. In theory. But sometimes we can't keep up. We buy new things almost daily and this site is changed daily, so it's always worth checking back regularly to see what's new. If it's not on the website, but you've seen it in the shop - let us know and we'll add it immediately so that you can buy it!

Do you buy pieces from members of the public?

Of course. If you've got something that you think we might like, drop us a line via email with a few photos and how much you hope to sell/it them for and we'll let you know if it's for us within 48 hours. [email protected]

Returns - Exchanges - Refunds

What's your returns policy?

With the exception of made-to-order, seasonal and discounted goods, you can return anything you've purchased from us for a full refund. The rules are that you must inform us in writing (email's fine: [email protected]) within 14 days of receipt of your goods and get them back to us within 30 days of receipt of your goods. We'll refund the price of the items you've returned, but not the delivery charge to you or the cost you incur in returning it to us.
